Road to Rust Mastery

Hey!

My name’s Ethan. I’m a Computer Science graduate from the University of Windsor. I’ve previously worked in a Software Engineering role, but I was slinging AI slop on various apps using the Next.js / Supabase stack.

I have a vision for the future. I want to open my own company based upon the values of freedom, privacy, and quality. I believe mastering Rust is the key to my vision. I want my future ecosystem to be impregnable, and that starts with me.

I previously worked through Luca Palmieri’s Zero to Production until about chapter 5. I found that I was copy and pasting code, asking ChatGPT to fix it, etc… I was not learning, I was passing. Which is how I’ve always operated.

Today that changes. Today I start my journey of mastering Rust the right way, and becoming the Software Engineer I was destined to be.

My plan is to go through the book properly, documenting my progress and then go on to make a user-authentication API that adheres to the OWASP top 10, hashed passwords, secure cookie management…
The whole nine yards.
